Now that we know what a spleen is, let’s talk a step back and examine a broader view. The lymphatic system unites the body into a cohesive whole, and without recognizing its part in health, other steps we take to support our bodies will be less effective.
In today’s episode, I share about the basics of what the system is, how it impacts other areas of the body, the common expressions of imbalance, and ways we can support its function.

No, it’s not an expletive! MTHFR is an acronym for a gene that codes for a protein responsible for many important actions in the body. And yet, for some people, a seemingly harmless variation in the coding can result in serious consequences. Understanding whether or not you have such a variant can help you to make decisions that will accommodate and support overall health.
What exactly is the MTHFR gene? How do you know if you have a variation on this gene? And if there is, what can you do about it?
In this episode I cover all the basics, with actionable steps and of course herbs to consider!

Last week we talked about the nutrients many people are deficient in. Today, we talk about WHY. This is where we dig into the processes in the body that lead to proper nourishment, and those that can hamper them. When we understand why, we can then make a plan for better nutrition and reduce the need for supplementation.
Of this list, there are three I want to dig into in more detail, and one of them I cover today - proper production and release of gastric juices. What are they? Where do they come from? What do they contain? What happens when they are not functioning correctly, and how can we balance them? All of this answered in today’s podcast!

Numerous studies and surveys have demonstrated that even in a country with abundant food, most Americans, even those well-fed, are largely undernourished. We have found that most people do not take in enough of the needed nutrients to maintain health.
Sometimes, while getting to the root cause is an important step of the process, getting support to offset the problem right away is important for healing. That’s why I often recommend specific nutrients for specific people in very certain cases, and usually for only a set duration of time. It’s strategic, and the goal is to home in on the need of each individual.
In today’s episode, I share what the most common supplements are that I recommend. I also jump into how to increase the absorption and efficacy of those supplements, and touch on how to find the right brand for you.
If you’re not sure if taking a supplement is right for you, be sure to listen in and perhaps you’ll find information that will help to answer your question.

You have questions about health or herbalism, but you don’t trust Google and you don’t have a care provider who can answer them. Or, you have numerous people texting you, who are in this boat. These are people who want to know about herbal contraindications, dosages for kids, how to find a trustworthy supplement, how long to make a decoction for, or any number of urgent or non-urgent health needs that don’t require an emergency room visit but for which they would play phone tag with a nurse or doctor who is not excited to speak with them. Where do these people stuck in the middle turn? Yes, they could take herbal courses, they could read books on their topic of interest, they could even watch YouTube videos and sort through all the information they find to make a careful decision. Or, they could reach out to an herbalist who has already done that and who can give them their options straight up. Herbalist Care Chat does just this. It is a service I created to meet the needs of this group of people. And in today’s episode, I offer advice on what to consider if you want to create a similar service for yourself.

The world of medicinal plants is so vast, and the knowledge required to serve others from within the healthcare field so extensive, that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the expectation that we memorize huge amounts of information to work as a Community or Clinical Herbalist! Today, I break down the functions of people and plants using an age-old system that has been adapted over the years to suit our language, and which simplifies our work in a meaningful way. It also counters the excessive “specialization” that has happened in modern healthcare, with a view of patterns that explains how numerous symptoms can reflect a single person’s experience.
